Find out in this report how the two Build Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution provides good integrations."
"The integration is a good feature."
"The integration with other AWS services has streamlined our workflow."
"It works seamlessly with AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR)."
"The integration is a good feature."
"Jenkins is very easy to use."
"Very easy to understand for newcomers."
"Jenkins's open-based framework is very valuable."
"Jenkins has a lot of built-in packages and tools."
"It is easy to use."
"Jenkins is a very mature product."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the integration of automatic scripts for testing and the user's ability to use any script."
"It can scale easily."
"The deployment fails sometimes."
"There is no persistent storage or preservation of workspace between the builds."
"They can further improve the integration of the Bitbucket for CodeBuild."
"While working on building images for multiple applications within a single script, I encountered an issue where looping functionality was not supported as expected."
"Sometimes, random errors of metadata are not there, which causes delays. These are essentially gaps in the information being passed to the job."
"It would be helpful if they had a bit more interactive UI."
"There are some difficulties when we need to execute the DB script."
"We need more licensed product integrations."
"There are a lot of things that they can try to improvise. They can reduce a lot of configurations. It is currently supporting Groovy for scripting. It would be really good if it can be improvised for Python because, for most of the automation, we have Python as a script. It would be good if can also support Python. We have a lot of Android builds. These Android builds can be a part of Jenkins. It can have some plug-ins or configurations for Android builds. There should also be some internal matrix to check the performance. We also want to have more REST API support, which is currently not much in Jenkins. We are not able to get more information about running Jenkins. More REST API support should be provided."
"Centralized user management would be helpful."
"Jenkins relies on the old version of interface for configuration management. This needs improvement."
"They need to improve their documentation."
